The expansion plan includes increasing the number of inpatient beds from ten to 20, alongside a complete reconstruction of inpatient rooms.
It will aim to improve the hospital’s rehabilitation, imaging, laboratory and pharmacy services, as well as upgrade the stairwells, main floor and offices.
The expansion project is part of Aspirus’ efforts to meet changing healthcare needs in Merrill and the surrounding communities.
It is part of the company’s strategy to maintain a Critical Access Hospital in the city as more US state populations transition to Medicare.
